Currently all iOS browsers are safari with custom interfaces over-the-top.

Turn developer options off.

Cheers man, appreciate it. It’s an awful mess rn, but an ever changing awful mess.

Ahh I tried to have herbstluft running before I had hypr running, but my Linux inexperience got me when I landed in a tty and couldn’t run the wm.

Remote access into my personal machines isn’t required outside of SSH, for work I remote into Windows machines using remmina without any issues. I _was working on screen sharing in my config, in /hardware/audio/ but got distracted by the rest of my config.

Running Hypr for a while has really given me more insight into the “bloat” of modern desktop environments, NixOS too has pushed me further into that rabbit hole.

I mean, if your running Nix why not add another branch to your git and give it a twirl?

To break it down, tiling wm just… manage windows.

Since I posted my config here it’s changed quite a bit. If you wanted to rip out my hyprland.conf check /nixos/home/hypr/default.nix

There should be some home.file = text ‘’ text here ‘’; with my config for the bones I use.

You should be able to decipher where these should live, but some of the values like ${spaghetti.user} or the nix-colors palette values won’t work without too having that installed.

My first days of using hyprland went something like this:

What package would you need to change wifi configurations. You using NWM, IWD or WPA? Does that package have a GUI or are you comfortable using the terminal in TUI or typing configurations via commands, or editing files using vi / nano?

Oh, that package you just installed isn’t running at boot, better add that to the exec once in hyprland.conf

Wait that package should be added as a service and not as the package?! Do I still need to enable the package or does services.foo.enable = true; handle that?

Home-manager sounds like a waste of time, why would I want refactor my config for the Nth time?

Man Home-manager makes configuring everything so easy, why was I doing everything manually before?

Wait I don’t have a calculator installed? Why am I editing basic text files in Lite-XL? Oh, I’ll need some scripts to change keyboard brightness, I could add a Dunst notification to foo.bar that would be cool! Man I wonder if this program let’s me change XYZ?

It’s become a lot 😅

Once I got out of that mess, picked some basic packages that fit my needs I moved onto… adding more packages, configurations, modules, hosts, theming support and so on.

For your gaming question, yeah it works great! If your using NVIDIA hardware read the wiki and add the suggested config options to hyprland.conf but it all should hit the ground running without much configuration. The closed drivers will perform much better in gaming.

If your on AMD Graphics just send.

Full screen games work fine, same with windowed.

If you’ve not tried gaming under Wayland you shouldn’t really be too concerned, it works mostly fine these days under Steam / Proton. Expect _some issues but it’s always good to expect worse than you’ll receive.

The defaults for hyprland are pretty good in my eyes, I’ve made some tweaks to the colour scheme, animations and even animated window borders but really its what you make of it.

Love using Hyprland, its minimal (which is a plus for me), no real issues outside of a sleep bug with my laptop when running hybrid graphics mode (amd igpu + nvidia gpu)

If you are not building your hyprland config from nix (as I am currently via symlinks) you can save the config file, and it will already be active allowing you to quickly test / amend / break all the things. For my config I need to rebuild the system, logout and login to see changes. Since I’ve been using Hyprland for a while now I’ve not needed to make many changes to the config so that works better for me.

I jumped from KDE to Hyprland, without having used a tiling window manager before, so adding all the necessary applications for things like brightness control, audio control was all quite a bit to take in from a full-fledged desktop environment.

Thought I’d linked to my git, here it is!

Transmission running on the same machine? VM / Container?

I was using deluge for the longest time but went back to transmission in an lxc under proxmox.

Some more info about your config would help troubleshoot.

Compatibility for games will be the same under Nix as they are Debian, Ubuntu or Arch. If your using steam just toggle compatibility and you’ll be set for most titles under that launcher. I’ve ditched windows in favour of Linux, jumped between Debian, Manjaro and settled with nix.

Nix has been around for 20+ years now, it’s quite mature at this stage, but has lots of features under development.

For me, nix is a reproducible environment, the same code for my install will build the same working system with the same configuration for applications even if a drive goes bad.

My sensitive data is stored elsewhere, but my keybinds, themes and wallpapers, colour schemes for applications and even settings in those applications will be the same on a fresh install (so long as I’ve defined them 😅)

Majority of my config is identical between different machines, lots of reused config with minimal machine specific config.

Sounds like bait but I’ll bite.

Most singleplayer titles work perfectly fine under Linux. Majority of my steam library runs with compatibility toggled in steam.

I’ve got a Switch Pro controller, no issues via Bluetooth or Cable connection. Gives me battery readouts via Dunst

Running Wayland with an NVIDIA GPU in both my systems.

Yep my other packages manage everything else, transmission is rarely logged into on the GUI side. KISS
